      The whole same shit!😉 I actually think that I’m found the best teacher from who I really want to learn😍 my only one problem is that I have the “aluminum” Darbuka with straight borders. But I couldn’t find anything in terms of tutorials for that kind of Darbuka.. I mean, the playing basics should be the same, But the fine-tuning details are different -I realized it when I was testing this kind of “doumbek” in comparison to one of mine… Even though the playing feeling is also different & sound, so I’ve definitely decided to buy another one))) and now I’m really happy to find the best tutorial on youtube😍

    I don't know if many women take up the doumbek/darbuka, but, at 53, I hate that I am just now discovering it. Where has it been all the years of my life? Good thing we're never too old to learn something new, right? Thank you, young man for posting these lessons. You are an awesome teacher. I must be improving too, because the cats have stopped running away when I pick up the drum. When I have mastered the rhythm in this first lesson, I'll definitely move on to the next lesson... and the next lesson... and the next. This instrument is a joy... and so is your teaching. You are a gift. Again, thank you.

    These reassurances are needed for beginners!

    I'm really enjoying your series! Very clear and engaging--love it!
    My main problem now seems to be posture...
    I've been playing djembe for years but just picked up darbuka, and I'm having problems with my right shoulder getting tired and sore after 15-20 minutes of practice.
    I assume there's something wrong with my posture, but I can't seem to figure it out. Relaxing/dropping my shoulder hasn't seemed to make much difference, and I'm pretty sure years of djembe would have conditioned my muscles better than this by now. Any advice?
